ProTeam kicks off Asthma Day with a give-away

The winner will be selected on World Asthma Day from open nominations made by May 3 to the ProTeam Facebook fan page, the release stated.

"We were inspired to hold this contest after speaking with a college custodian in the U.S. who suffered from debilitating asthma. Her attacks were often triggered by airborne dust emitted with the exhaust from her upright," said Jacalyn High, ProTeam director of marketing.

"We wanted to honor how janitorial workers across the country and the world put their health on the line everyday, and help improve the life of one of them with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered backpack vacuum," High added.
